Figure 3 | Optical coherence tomography images of specialized intestinal metaplasia with and without intramucosal carcinoma or high-grade dysplasia. a | Optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of specialized intestinal metaplasia without dysplasia demonstrates glandular architecture with a relatively low reflectivity. b | Corresponding histology to part a demonstrates a low nuclear to cytoplasm ratio in the superficial epithelium (inset). c | OCT image of intramucosal carcinoma–high-grade dysplasia (IMC/HGD) enables visualization of large and irregular glands (arrows). d | Irregular, dilated glands are also seen in the corresponding histology to part c (arrows). e | OCT image of IMC/HGD shows a disorganized architecture and increased surface reflectivity (arrows). f | Corresponding histology for part e demonstrates abnormal glandular architecture and an increased superficial nuclear to cytoplasm ratio (inset).
